Along Farm Fronts
Of North Carolina
Flog Prices Up
Hog prices may go up further this
summer as supplies are seasonally
reduced, but they are not likely to
reach the high level of last summer,
according to a report of the U. S.
Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
For the 1938-39 marketing year, the
13 per cent increase in the 1938 spring
pig crop and the prospective increase
of 9 per Cent in the number of sows
to farrow this fall indicate a much
larger market supply of swine than
in 1937-38.
Purchase Snap Beans
To help market conditions when
prices decline, the Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation has been au
thorized to make purchases of snap
beans during the present production
season. This organization has already
bought 9,000 bushels in Macon coun
ty. Needy people tin relief rolls will
get the beans.
Set 1939 Wheat Goal
National wheat goal for 1939 has
been set at 55,000,000 acres, the min
imum provided for in the Agricultur
al Adjustment Act of 1938. North
Carolina will receive 363,117 acres
for the export trade, and for for
adequate reserves equal to 30 per
cent of a normal year's domestic con
sumption and exports.
Watching Leaf Markets
Farmers, warehousemen, and busi
ness men are watching closely the
opening of tobacco markets to see the
effect of the new AAA program and
adverse weather conditions on prices.
North Carolina farmers will get their
first chance to offer this year's crop
when the Border Belt warehouses
open August 4.

HOLLYWOOD Four days in a
movie sandstorm were so tough On
the eyes and
throats of the
"S u e z" troupe
that Annabella
has been ordered
to wear dark
glasses and stay
out of the sun
for two weeks
...which means
a postponement
of her departure
for France.
T w e nty-four
wind machines

anyone who saw him at the "Marie
Antoinette" premiere.
. Anithpr thin?' Hollywood Is
super cautious about eye Infections
right now . . . wiin me jacn uumi
case so fresh in everybody's minds.
Six kids have been made very
happy by the visit of a movie
troupe to Father Flanagan's
famous school in Nebraska.
Members of M. G. M.'s "Boys
Town" company have agreed to
adopt a half dozen youngsters
!at the institution.
1 They'll furnish the money to see
the boys through high school and
will help them to get a start when
they graduate.
i The' Hollywood sponsors are
Spencer Tracy, Director Norman
.Taurog, Producer John Considine,
'his assistant, O. O. Dull, Camera
i man Sid Wagner and Exploitation
(Director Frank Whitbeck.
Cost of maintaining a boy at
Fatner Flanagan's institute is
about $200 a year.
Looks as if Helen Twelvetrees
and Jack Woody are making a
serious effort towards reconcilia
tion. The two of them and their
six-year-old youngster were having
dinner at the Cubanola. ... And
Cecil Sillman, who used to escort
Helen around, showed up at Maxie
Rosenbloom's with Robin Adair on
his arm.
la willing for her to come to Hol
lywood, but she wants to take
post-graduate work in marine me.
Speaking of Flynn, Warners will
shoot two endings for "The Sisters"
and will let preview audiences
decide who gets Bette Davis, t lynn
or Ian Hunter. If you remember,
thpv tried the same stunt in
"Another Dawn". Kay rancis
was the girl in that one and Flynn
won the decision over Hunter.
When the Malibu colony started
and the film celebs built expensive
houses on land they could lease for
only 10 years, people shrugged and
said: "Isn't that just like Holly
wood?" Understand, however,
that Barbara Hutton had to make
the same sort of a deal with her
palatial Winfleld house, largest
private estate In London. The
land belonged to the crown and
she had to be satisfied with a 39
year lease.
The home she built on the 13 ,
acres would make a Hollywood
mansion iook smati Dy comparison.
No hobby rider more rabid than
the yachtsman. Preston Foster has
just spent $7,800 on the motors of
his boat to Increase the speed by;
one and one-fourth knots.
Foster will try to crack the
record between Los Angeles and
San Francisco. The trip, with the
motor reconditioning after it Is
over, will set him back almost !'
$10,000. -
But Foster should worry. His
Universal contract is for double his
old R-K-O salary and he gets to)
make pictures on the side. Be
sides, the yacht is his only ex
travagance. .'
Strange parallel in the case of
Jimmy Cagneys and Errol Flynn's
